APM Terminals Pipavav strengthens its position by receiving
block train from ICD Panipat
APM Terminals Pipavav, one of the leading gateway ports in Western India
received the first full block train for D.D. International Private Limited.
The
train was flagged off from ICD Panipat in the first week August and reached the
port within 2 days. The block train is operated by the DP world for Maersk to
transport the cargo for D.D. International Private Limited.
APM
Terminals Pipavav is well connected to the varied belts in north-west
hinterland via rail connecting the hinterland customers to the global markets.
The new service further strengthens port's connectivity to hinterland.
The
containers carrying rice are destined for Jeddah and Dammam in the Middle East.
Commenting on the occasion, Jakob Friis Sørensen, MD, APM Terminals Pipavav
said, "We are happy to receive the first block train for D.D.
International Private Limited at our port.
The
connection helps our customers in moving their containers safely, quickly, and
sustainably and offers our hinterland customers an additional mode to expand
their business in the global markets.
Moving
the consignment by rail is safe and sustainable that not only reduces the
congestion on the road but also helps in reduction in carbon footprint."
Long-haul
container shipping capacity grows at expense of regional lanes
Intra-Europe, intra-Asia and container services to Africa have taken a beating as liner operators diverted vessels to the more lucrative Asia-Europe and Transpacific lanes over the past year.
Alphaliner’s latest report,
released on 24 August, stated that as of 1 August, intra-Europe capacity had
declined by 14% year-on-year. The contraction for intra-Asia and African
services was 10% and 4%, respectively.
Alphaliner noted that while in
August 2021, the reduction in intra-Europe capacity was just 5%, Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 caused more capacity to be withdrawn, as
many regular services to/from Russia were suspended. In comparison, the decline
in intra-Asia capacity is comparable to what it was in August 2021.
Alphaliner said, “During the
past 12 months the number of ships deployed in Africa-related service has
decreased from 457 to 409 units. This capacity loss was only partly compensated
for by deploying larger ships with an average size of 4,077 TEU on 1 August
(compared to 3,814 TEU last year).”
The largest route in terms of
cellular fleet deployment remains Asia – North America, which saw capacity
increase by 31% in 2021. The capacity addition slowed to 62,500 TEU, or 1.1%,
to 5.55 million TEU in the first seven months of 2022. After a significant
capacity build-up of 31% in 2021, only 62,500 TEU slots were further added in
the first seven months of this year.
As more medium-sized or smaller
ships have been shifted to deep sea routes, the average vessel size on all
trade routes, except Africa-related services, has decreased. The biggest ships
are still deployed between Asia and Europe, where the average size now stands
at 15,217 TEU, down from 16,086 TEU in August 2021.
The average size on the Asia -
North America loops has dropped from 8,809 TEU last year to 8,399 TEU on 1
August. During the past 12 months, the number of ships deployed in
Africa-related services has decreased from 457 to 409 units. This capacity loss
was only partly compensated for by deploying larger ships with an average size
of 4,077 TEU on 1 August (compared to 3,814 TEU last year).
German
trade union and ports reach collective bargaining agreement
HHLA Container Terminal
Burchardkai in Hamburg / Source: HHLA / Thies Rätzke.While the port workers' strike at Felixstowe continues, causing challenges in and out of the United
Kingdom, the situation in Germany is expected to return to normal.
In the tenth round of
collective bargaining with the Central Association of German Seaport Companies
(ZDS), the German trade union German United Services Union (ver.di) said it
achieved a collective bargaining result for around 12,000 employees in German
North Sea ports.
In detail, the collective
bargaining agreement says that from 1 July 2022, the wages in full container
companies in the corner wage group 6 (including special payment) will increase
by 9.4%, in the conventional and general cargo port companies, they increase by
7.9% in the same reference wage group (including special payment).
Additionally, from 1 June 2023,
the fees in the above-mentioned operating modes will increase by a further
4.4%.
If the price increase rate is
higher, an inflation clause comes into effect, which compensates for a price
increase rate of up to 5.5%, according to the agreement.
In the event of a higher
inflation rate, the bargaining parties have agreed on a negotiation obligation,
including a special right of termination.
“This is a very good result.
Our most important goal was real inflation compensation so that employees were
not left alone with the consequences of the galloping price increases. We
succeeded in doing that,” pointed out ver.di negotiator, Maya
Schwiegershausen-Güth.
The ver. di Federal Tariff
Commission has already issued a resolution recommendation for the collective
bargaining result. The German union will now initiate a discussion process with
the members in the companies about the collective bargaining result.
Furthermore, on 5 September
2022, the ver.di Federal Tariff Commission will then make the final decision on
the collective bargaining result.
Boxships
scramble to safety as Typhoon Ma-on lashes southern China
Port of Hong Kong.Ships have been getting out of Hong Kong and other ports in the Greater Bay Area in southern China as Typhoon Ma-on makes landfall in the vicinity this morning (25 August) local time.
S&P Global Market
Intelligence’s vessel-tracking data shows that currently, just one boxship,
Swire & Sons-operated 95 TEU Mo Sing Leng, is in Hong Kong, while 24 other
container vessels have sought refuge in the anchorages. Forty-five other
container ships departed Hong Kong in the last 24 hours.
Chinese meteorological services
said that the centre of Ma-on is on the northern surface of the South China
Sea, about 210 kilometres south-east of Zhanjiang in Guangdong province. The
storm then travelled at 30km/hour in the northwestern direction, causing heavy
rains in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces and around the Pearl River
Delta.
In Shenzhen, there are no
container ships in the main sub-ports of Yantian and Shekou, while 10 other
container ships are in the anchorages.
All ships in Zhanjiang Port have
left the berths before midnight today to enter the anchorages, and all the crew
members of unpowered ships in the port have been evacuated to shore. The Hong
Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge has suspended water traffic, prohibiting any ship from
passing through the channel.
Felixstowe
strike could be extended until end of year, supply chain havoc continues
Workers at the Port of
Felixstowe, who have launched an ongoing strike over wages from 21 August, have
not come to an agreement with CK Hutchison, the Hong Kong-based port owner.
General secretary of the
British trade union Unite, which represents the workers in the dispute, Sharon
Graham pointed out that the strike could continue until the end of the year, if
Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company, the port operator owned by Hutchison Ports
UK Ltd, does not improve its offer.
During negotiations on 8
August, the port operator offered a 7% pay rise and a single payment of £500
(around €600 or US$600), but the union rejected the company’s settlement.
Addressing the striking
dockworkers, Sharon Graham said, “The company [Felixstowe Ports] is making an
absolute fortune. It could pay 50% more on wages and still be in profit. We are
asking for 10%. What is the problem? The company needs to come clean and open
the books about their untold billions."
Sharon Graham highlighted
"forensic research" on CK Hutchison operations. "Every single
client, every investor, every decision maker at CK Hutchison is being looked
into. I will be inviting the shareholders at CK Hutchison, the clients of CK
Hutchison, the decision makers of CK Hutchison to meetings with me, to open the
books on what is going on. The company's refusal to settle the union claim is
about corporate greed," he said.
In an announcement on 23
August, Graham noted, "The Port of Felixstowe is the epitome of an economy
that doesn’t work for workers. In 2021 the company accounts show profits that
are the highest in recent company history, along with bumper dividends. So
there’s a bonanza for the shareholders and a pay cut for the workers."
Meanwhile, the strike, which is
the first one at Felixstowe port since 1989, continues to delay vessels and
wreak havoc with supply chains. According to the latest report by the global
information technology company, IQAX, 18 vessels have been delayed by the
strike so far, while American business news channel CNBC reported that it could
take around two months to clear the backlog.
Danish container carrier Maersk
has also announced that the strike has affected logistics operations in and out
of the United Kingdom. "Our contingency measures are in place to combat
the circumstances at Felixstowe, including making changes to our vessel line-up
to maximise available labour at the immediate conclusion of the strike,"
said Maersk.
Copenhagen-based box line
added, "Once normal service resumes at the end of the strike, we
anticipate demand for carrier haulage to be at very high levels and therefore
encourage customers to book early."
TotalEnergies
Marine Fuels completes COSCO’s first marine biofuel bunkering
TotalEnergies Marine Fuels has
completed the first refueling of a COSCO container ship with sustainable marine
biofuels. This is TotalEnergies' first
biofuel bunkering operation for a container ship in Singapore.
The 4,250 TEU container ship
Cosco Houston was refueled with biofuels supplied by TotalEnergies in Singapore
waters, via ship-to-ship transfer.
"We are honoured to
partner COSCO Shipping Lines, one of the world's largest container shipping
companies, in their decarbonisation journey with the provision of their first
biofuel bunker stem. This successful collaboration lays a foundation for both
companies to explore new joint initiatives that promote the introduction of
clean, low-carbon alternative fuels," commented Laura Ong, general manager
of trading and operations for Asia Pacific at TotalEnergies Marine Fuels.
VLSFO (Very Low Sulfur Fuel
Oil) blended with 20% second generation, waste-based and ISCC certified UCOME
(Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester), was supplied through an operation made
possible with the support of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)
and the involvement of local partners.
It is important to note that
from a well-to-wake assessment, biofuel will reduce about 17% of greenhouse gas
emissions compared to conventional fuel oil, according to a statement. The
biofuel has been consumed during the container ship's voyage to Jakarta,
Indonesia.
"This milestone
bio-bunkering operation also further validates the important role of biofuels
in decarbonizing conventional marine fuels, and the potential greenhouse gas
(GHG) reduction gains it can bring to existing vessels. In line with
TotalEnergies' climate ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 together
with society, we will continue to scale up our biofuel capabilities and to
support the growing interest for sustainable marine biofuels in this
region," noted Laura Ong.
California Legislature gives Long Beach bridge new name
The Port of Long Beach's new cable-stayed
span has been designated as the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge after
state Senate approval.
The iconic bridge connecting
Terminal Island to downtown Long Beach opened as part of the state highway
system.
"Since our new bridge
officially opened in 2020, it has been a bright new landmark for our city –
welcoming visitors from close to home and around the world," said Long
Beach Mayor Robert Garcia.
"The approval of its
official name as the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge perfectly fits all
that it represents, and we are excited to have it serve our community and our
great Port for generations to come," he added. The port turned over
ownership of the bridge to Caltrans, leaving responsibility for the bridge's
name to the state legislature.
"The new name reflects
that this truly is a bridge to everywhere by connecting Long Beach to the rest
of the world as a critical link in the global supply chain," said Port of
Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero.
"The Long Beach International
Gateway Bridge represents our ongoing commitment to invest in infrastructure
projects that will strengthen the Port's competitiveness for decades to
come," he continued.
With two support towers and a
colorful LED lighting system, the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge has
already become an icon on the Southern California skyline. It is taller than the previous one to
accommodate large cargo ships and to generally improve truck and passenger
traffic for Southern California's transportation network.
The US$1.5 billion Long Beach
International Gateway Bridge replaced the Gerald Desmond Bridge, which opened
in 1968 and was named after a former Long Beach city attorney and city
councilman who helped secure funding for its construction opening.
Demolition of the Gerald
Desmond Bridge is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
Performance Shipping acquires its first LR2 Aframax oil tanker
Performance
Shipping Inc., a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of
tanker vessels, announced that it has signed, through a separate wholly-owned
subsidiary, a Memorandum of Agreement to purchase a 105,304 dwt LR2 Aframax oil
product tanker, the M/T Alpine Amalia, to be renamed M/T P. Aliki, built in
2010 by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. - Ulsan, South Korea, from an
unaffiliated third party for a gross purchase price of US$36.5 million. The
vessel, which is expected to be delivered to the Company in November 2022, is
fitted with a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) and Exhaust Gas Cleaning
System (EGCS), and its next scheduled special survey and drydock is not due
until 2025.
The
Company expects to finance the acquisition with cash-on-hand raised from its
recent equity offerings and the incurrence of debt through a new senior secured
facility that it anticipates it will enter into prior to the delivery of the
vessel.
Commenting
on the agreement, Andreas Michalopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
stated:
“The
acquisition of our seventh vessel, a long-range Aframax oil product tanker
referred to as an LR2, marks yet another significant milestone for our Company.
It marks our entry into the refined petroleum product tanker sector, which we
believe enjoys strong fundamentals and prospects. Spot charter rates for LR2
tankers are currently averaging in excess of US$40,000.00 per day and we expect
to trade the vessel, following its delivery to us, in the spot market. The
vessel is fitted with a BWTS and EGCS (scrubber), which we anticipate will
enable it to achieve premium charter rates and high utilization. We look
forward to participating in a strong tanker market with our expanded fleet of 7
Aframax tankers and low maintenance capital expenditures going forward.”

Emirates to reintroduce direct Airbus A380 services to Auckland and Kuala Lumpur from December
As travellers kick-start the search for their next holiday, Emirates is announcing that it will restore its non-stop A380 services to and from Auckland and Kuala Lumpur, starting from 1 December.
The
airline currently operates to both cities with a linked Boeing 777-300ER
service, which makes a stop in Kuala Lumpur before continuing on to Auckland.
The start of A380 flights will see both cities delinked and served with direct
services to and from Dubai. The latest update to the airline’s schedule will
offer customers greater levels of flexibility and much needed seat
availability.
The
new services will also provide more opportunities to travel across the Emirates
network with reduced transit times after the delinking of services, and faster
connections to and from Europe, the Middle East, South Asia as well as Africa.
The
non-stop services between Dubai and Auckland will also reclaim its title as the
longest route on the Emirates network, clocking in 14,200 km, in addition to
being one of the world’s longest non-stop scheduled commercial flights.
Emirates’
direct flight EK448 from Dubai to Auckland will depart at 10:05hrs and arrives
at 11:05hrs the next day. The return flight will depart Auckland at 21:15hrs
and arrives in Dubai at 05:25hrs the next day. All times are local.
Emirates’
A380 service to Kuala Lumpur, EK 346 will depart Dubai at 0330hrs, landing at
1435hrs. EK 343 will depart Kuala Lumpur at 0145hrs, arriving in Dubai at
0505hrs.
The
reintroduction of the airline’s flagship A380 to Auckland and Kuala Lumpur will
provide more choice for tourists looking to discover these exciting
destinations, and also offers travellers a chance to experience the A380’s
signature products and services across all classes.
New
Zealand is ramping up its visibility with a global campaign in key markets to
encourage more visitors to come and re-live the country’s incredible
experiences and stunning natural attractions. To promote Malaysia as a unique
travel destination, Emirates recently signed a Memorandum of Collaboration
(MoC) with the Malaysia Tourism Board to develop inbound visitor traffic into
the country from key markets across the airline’s network.
The
Emirates A380 experience remains highly sought after by travellers for its
spacious and comfortable cabins, and signature products that offer travellers
the best experiences in the sky like the Onboard Lounge, First Class suites and
Shower Spa.
The
A380 experience is always rounded off by award-winning hospitality, regional
culinary creations and authentic tastes, and the airline’s award-winning
inflight entertainment system, ice, with more than 5,000 channels of
on-demand entertainment at every customer’s fingertips.
The
airline is accelerating the deployment of its flagship A380 aircraft in line
with growing global demand for air travel, with 32 destinations currently being
served on a scheduled basis, and more to be announced in the coming weeks and
months.

IPP Air
Cargo will soon be in the air
Phillip Nguyen, CEO of IPP Travel Retail, speaking at the Routes Asia conference in June this year, stated that the new airline, branded IPP Air Cargo, will begin operations in September 2022, first servicing Hong Kong and Singapore.
IPP Air Cargo's first 737-800 BCF aircraft is
nearing completion at Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co., Ltd.
(GAMECO), announced Brian Thomas Hogan, Leasing Advisor at IPP Air Cargo, on
LinkedIn. The second aircraft is already in conversion, followed by the third
and fourth.
IPP Group (IPPG), a Vietnamese retail group that
established IPP Air Cargo in June 2021 was hoping to receive its first modified
aircraft to be delivered by the end of July 2022. Phillip Nguyen, CEO of IPP
Travel Retail, speaking at the Routes Asia conference in June this year, stated
that the new airline, branded IPP Air Cargo, will begin operations in September
2022, first servicing Hong Kong and Singapore.
What is the story of IPP Air Cargo's acquisition?
In June 2021, IPP Group announced the acquisition of IPP Air Cargo. With a VND
2,400 billion (US$ 100 million) investment, IPP Air Cargo was formed to start
an airline focused on freight transport, at a time when the sector was in chaos
due to the pandemic.
In an interview published on IPP Group in June
2021, Johnathan Hanh Nguyen - Chairman of IPPG explained why he decided on
establishing an airline when the world was in the middle of a crisis.
"Vietnam lacks a specialized airline that
transports goods. Exporting businesses are facing serious difficulties.
Businesses are willing to pay premium rates, but they must occasionally wait in
line for flights because the airline does not have enough slots.
Therefore, I immediately thought to myself,
"I can't just sit here and sell branded products to make money.",
even though branded goods sold extremely well during the pandemic season. Since
the customers were unable to travel overseas, we imported the new models for
them to purchase, resulting in an 84 percent increase in sales," said
Nguyen.
IPP Air Cargo is managed by CEO Le Hong Thuy Tien,
with former Polar Air Cargo COO Lars Winkelbauer serving as an advisor. The new
airline is in negotiations with Singapore's postal service provider Singpost
and Cainiao, the logistics subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
IPPG has also signed a memorandum of understanding
with Australia's Wagner Corporation to build a trade corridor between Toowoomba
(WTB) in Queensland and Vietnam. Service is anticipated to begin in March 2023.
According to Nguyen, the route's objective is to transport consumer and
industrial goods to Australia, as well as perishables like fresh food to
Vietnam and beyond. He also stated that plans are in the pipeline to use Da
Nang (DAD) and Cam Ranh (CXR) as staging points for goods to be transported to
other destinations in the area or to Vietnam's seaports.
Lufthansa
Cargo to expand intra-European network with new A321 freighters
The second A321F, registered D-AEUA, is now being converted in Singapore. The twin-engine, technologically sophisticated narrow-body aircraft is both powerful and fuel-efficient.
Lufthansa Cargo will begin offering more capacity
in its medium-haul network on specially converted Airbus A321 freighters in
October 2022. In March 2022, the first freight flight of its sort took launched
from Frankfurt to Dublin.
Because of the good market reaction and ongoing
high demand from the eCommerce and Same-Day sectors, the second aircraft of
this kind will join the scheduled operation in October.
The second A321F, registered D-AEUA, is now being
converted in Singapore. The twin-engine, technologically sophisticated
narrow-body aircraft is both powerful and fuel-efficient. It has the same
design as the first A321 freighter (D-AEUC, 'Hello Europe') and can carry 28
tonnes of cargo on 14 pallets and container slots on the main deck and 10 on
the lower deck.
Lufthansa Cargo can continue to expand its
footprint in the fast-growing eCommerce industry by providing well-known
quality service and products. Similar to the first A321F, the second aircraft
will also be based at the Frankfurt hub and operated by Lufthansa City Line
under the wet lease agreement. Both A321Fs will operate under Lufthansa Cargo
flight numbers.
As a Group company, Lufthansa CityLine has worked
intensively in recent months on the technical and operational preparation of
the first two converted aircraft of this type in Germany. The new destinations
in the intra-European network include Birmingham (BHX), London (LHR) and Madrid
(MAD). The existing destinations Istanbul (IST), Tel Aviv (TLV), Malta (MLA),
Tunis (TUN), Dublin (DUB), Manchester (MAN) and Cairo (CAI) will continue to be
served, while Istanbul and Tel Aviv will see additional frequencies.
Lufthansa Cargo continues to focus on
intra-European network growth in light of the dynamic market development and
continued strong demand for Same-Day and eCommerce solutions. Two more A321
freighters are scheduled to arrive in the first part of 2023. This implies that
Lufthansa Cargo will more than treble its A321F capacity in the future and will
endeavour to deploy these aircraft to meet the demands of individual customers.

help promote the initiative by communicating this great project as much as we
can."
Smillianets went on to add that since 1991,
Ukraine has celebrated August 24 as its day of independence. "So, it
couldn't be more appropriate to launch this initiative today in our national
